| Peace, good will, all tender holy feeling,
sweetiy mingling In the glad refrain.
Hand clasps hand to-day, in eager greeting,
Heart meets heart, In loving, fond embrace,
Thought takes wing to absent dear ones fleeing,
| swiftly spanning distance, time and space.
Der the brightness shatowing visions hover
Hopes deferred, and cherished Joys denied,
Missing chords and voices hushed forever,
Gone since bells last rang at Christmas tide.
When the ear is deaf to Christmas chimng.,
Ceases heart with joy grief to beat,
May Gods tender, gracious arms, entwining.
Bear us home to life supreme; complete.
Mrs. JAMES NICKERsON.
Mrs. Marshall Davis, who has been very sick is
